(((((Cassyrene))))) Please feel a warm hug! Thank you for sharing your story, it is so very sad to read of all the things you went through. My story although not the same, is very similar.
You are a very brave and strong woman, and it is so good that you found this forum to share your experiences. So many here have similar stories, and share your heartache. There is so much loving support here amongst the members, this support will help you to move forward and comfort you while you are working through your loss. (((Hugs)))
Congratulations on your Masters, your achieving this even through all that you have been through truely shows your strength. I am proud of you, and you too should be so proud of yourself.
Be happy with your sweety, and build the family you did not have growing up nor have now. Sometimes it is those we bring into our life after losing blood relatives, that truly become our family. Ones who love us for who we are, unconditionally.
As other posters said, they are a cult, and controlled while belonging. I also hope that they will turn around and take back their words, it is such a sad thing that families are destroyed by this cult.
Once again, thank you so much for sharing, it takes bravery to share painful experiences, but it is also the way to healing. Welcome to the forum Cassyrene
